Chapter 33: The New Army
Pushing aside the crowd casually, Lawne knew that this should be his own team, as an army, Lawn squeezed from the outside in, the first reaction of this group of onlookers was to give way instead of being on guard, obviously they were not used to their military identity, and only Lawn's army could do this to this extent, in Bella's army, most of the recruits were filled as battle damage, and it was impossible for there to be more recruits than veterans, and at this time, it was obviously not like that.
A circle of thousands of people, said that it is not big, it is not small, the center of the team is the two people who are dueling, looking at the two of you coming and going, it is actually two fourth-order, I think it is the leader who is in trouble, because in the Laune army, the 4th order is already a master, and there is a problem in the thousand-person brigade that the fourth-order has to be single-handed, and one of them must be the commander of the thousand, thinking of this, Laune still has a toothache, the quality of his army is too poor!
Raun didn't bother to interrupt the two, poked the recruits who were watching with relish next to him, and pointed at the two with his chin, the meaning was obvious, and asked what was going on?
The man didn't even recognize Lawn, which was normal, and Lawn was dressed as a warrior at this time, which was not small from the usual mage robes. Rolling was also quite interested in asking about him, and talked endlessly about the glorious history of the dueling two, who were rivals in love and close friends, a typical bloody plot, but the man told it very happily, making Lorn wonder if he had also intervened......
But since it's just a contradiction within the aristocracy, Raun doesn't bother to care, as long as it's not the nobles oppressing the commoners, Raun doesn't bother the duel between the two, but when he was leaving, he secretly lost a second-order magic core on the periphery, so that he picked up Ina Eve's legs and ran, seeing Raun's prank, Eve also threw one in the same way, and watched the elemental fire rise within the range of onlookers from a distance, although it was only a second-order flame burning, the power was very small, and this group of recruits still dealt with a mess!
Some just shouted, some simply ran around, and those teammates who had the ability to deal with the mix had to follow the flow of people, trampling on each other and attacking each other came out, Lawne watched the crowd slowly disperse speechlessly, fortunately, there were only a thousand people, and they quickly ran out of the range of spells from the periphery, otherwise Lawn suspected that a second-order spell would hit this team hard!
Ignoring Eve's heartless laughter, Lawne felt that he seemed to have made a mistake, Lawne threw the legion out at will, although it inspired a few high-minded commanders, for most people, it is still like now, not enterprising and wandering around, but it is better to concentrate on training, and when you have a basic sense of military and know how to cooperate, it is not too late to go out hunting, but Lawn will not admit his mistakes, training is necessary, just take those half of the defenders who are guarding the city! As for admitting mistakes? These little minions are not qualified yet!
I don't know why, Raune is always unhappy every time he sees DeWitt's in-laws! Last time he was deceived by Secy directly to Bloodskull City, this time he sat in the city and let the legion fall apart, at this moment, Lawn's characterization of DeWitt is the commander of 100,000 people, in Lawn's heart, the fall of this nobleman has determined his future limit, and he is useless!
Lawne looked at the empty city wall, and there was no one to guard it, although there was no danger, it didn't mean that the city wall could not even have basic eyes. Fortunately, in the barracks, Lawn met Feranna, and the 10,000-man treatment team that Lawn had entrusted her with was still ......
"Felana, when will the pigeons come back?"
Lawn didn't want to define any big crime such as desertion and indiscipline, and it was his own problem to develop into this, Lawn was going to put it another way, and the next order that Bella gave to the new members of her legion, to eliminate the monsters and reduce the number of herbivorous monsters! This is not contrary to his previous reward policy, and with the new order, Lawn can justifiably fight those teams that do not act!
"Commander, the defenders of the city are all nearby, and they will come back every day, but they don't seem to bring back the prey, every time they are empty-handed, and they don't know what to do when they go out......" The more Ferrana said, the quieter her voice became, and she didn't have to think about it to know that their prey was handed over to those teams who wanted to compete for rankings, and there were rewards but no penalties, and they would definitely not be able to escape this fate, as for the order to feed the fat soldiers, there was no standard at all, and no one cared about it from beginning to end!
"Well, when they come back in the evening, let them come over for a meeting, there is a new order, and the time for herding sheep is over! As for the half of the captains who are outside, don't worry about it, the new order does not conflict with the previous one, since they are so energetic, don't bother them!"
Thinking about Rauen with his toes, he can figure it out, although it is half and half out, but for the sake of the competition, the half with high strength may never come back, as long as the other half of the people themselves are willing, they can do so, as for Raune, he who has not seen anyone all day has been directly ignored.
At night, Lawn saw the five captains who came back from Sahuan, and the lightness and contempt between the eyebrows made Lawn understand that these people are beginning to look down on themselves, less discipline, and begin to look for the master's thorns!
"Military order, reduce the number of herbivorous monsters, tomorrow Ferrana will take your healing team to defend the city and wait for the wounded to be treated, and the remaining 4 teams, led by me, will attack the large beast herd in clusters!
"Legion Commander, what to do about defending the city, I can ......"
"Go down and prepare! Felana and DeWitt have guarded the city very well these days, I believe in them, and you better believe it too!" Lawne's words were not so polite, and even a faint spiritual coercion was emanated, those captains wanted to stab him, but Lawne directly blocked back! Defend the city? Since he DeWitt dared to take Feranna's team to defend the city, let him guard it, as long as nothing happened, everything was easy to say.
"Felana, let your team prepare the healing materials in advance tomorrow, don't overdraw the mana practice!" I don't know who to tell it, the captains' hearts suddenly trembled, this is going to be real.
After a night of silence, Lawne rested all night, quietly thought about today's arrangement, it's time, let these little weeds water the blood, even the Ina sisters have completed the transformation, these little soldiers, none of them want to escape!
The target chosen by Lawne is a super-large demon cow herd of more than 10,000 people, the leader of the herd, is only 4 order, most of the demon cows are still 2 order, for a team of 40,000 people, it is not particularly strong, but once the demon cow herd begins to charge, this group of recruits also suffers! Not only in terms of strength, Lawn chooses them, the key is that the running speed of the demon cow is not fast, if the commander is smarter, and the tail of the herd is killed layer by layer, the loss can be very small, but Lawn will not command, at least not before the situation is uncontrollable!
Lawne raised his staff and faced the four captains who followed: "Rank, this is the goal, you can arrange your own attack, I will postpone you here!"
Looking at the huge herd of cattle in front of him, one of the four captains refused without thinking: "Legion Commander, you are crazy, you let us attack such a large herd, this is to death, I will not go! I am a nobleman, I have the right to refuse your unreasonable orders, you are murdering a nobleman!" You are ......"
He was greeted by the fire arrow technique that passed through his chest, and Lawn's faint voice came: "40,000 3rd order against 12,000 order, start assigning tasks, oh! That's right! The one who followed behind this unlucky guy, congratulations, promoted to Captain Wan!"
Lawn casually pointed to the commander who was following him, congratulating him on his instant promotion, and at the same time suppressing the voices that still wanted to refuse, Lawn's meaning was obvious: refuse the military order, die! And Lawn has no shortage of commanders, and the commander behind them can be on top at any time!
"Eve, throw this valiant captain into the herd and trample on it, and when the time comes, wrap the meat sauce in a cloth and return it to his family!" Naturally, Raun will not bear the reputation of killing nobles, even if there are 40,000 witnesses at the scene, but this captain who has stepped on the meat will not find any physical evidence! As for human witnesses, there are 40,000 here, and the legions of Shunan and Bella have 4 million!
Lawn's atrocities temporarily shocked the officer's timidity, if an experienced veteran would not even need 40,000 or 4,000 to dare to attack a herd of such a size, this is a herbivore that basically will not take the initiative to attack!
Seeing the four captains trembling and surrounding the herd with 40,000 and a half people, Lawne didn't move, and casually found a wooden stake to sit down and watched the performance of a group of recruits.
I don't know who it is, shouting loudly to start this attack, the cattle are almost two kilometers away from here, looking at the roar of the warrior door, Lawn is also a little unhappy in his heart, incompetent nobles, but unfortunately after this training, I am afraid that the injured are more civilians. But there is no way, nobles are nobles, the commanders recognized by this country, this cannot be changed, all Raun can do is to give these commoners a chance to become nobles!
Sure enough, the 40,000-strong posture disturbed the herd, and the herd began to stir, but the dense herd could not react quickly, and there was a large-scale riot at the position of the legion and the cattle qunjiao boundary!
The weapons of the soldier system are also sharp, and the strength of the 3rd order warrior is also superior to that of most demon bulls, and the scene showed a small advantage at the beginning, and it seems that the beef tonight can be full, and his heart is also loose, so it is naturally best not to cause casualties!
It's a pity that this is a large herd of demonic beasts that has a command, and after the disturbed herd reacts, it follows the leader and starts to run, and the soldiers are naturally excited to chase and beat the water dogs, who will! Unfortunately, no one noticed, the herd did not leave with its back, the leader of the herd actually took the cattle near it to the left and turned a slight turn, and the direction was to recoil towards the crowd! In the end, it was a demonic beast, which was naturally much bolder than livestock, and the first reaction to the attack was not to run away but to protect the weakness of the herd.
This did not surprise Lawn, but there was one thing that Lawn did not expect, as a captain of ten thousand soldiers, the most important thing to do at this time was to use their strength of the 4~5th order to block the leader of the herd, as long as it died, the herd would inevitably flee! Lawn secretly hated the cowardice of the nobles in his heart, and did not go to the rescue, so he watched the formation of a "cavalry" charge!
The herd fell in rows, and the vacated position helped the herd behind them form a small charge, and the red color of blood seemed to have killed the herd, and this charge did not stop!
The leader of the herd of cattle who had no one to stop directly tore through the defense line along the mouth of the shield array, and the beast herd that opened the defense line not only did not leave, but the direction of its charge was the line where the encirclement was located, and it was going to attack the invaders who hurt their own race! For the beastmaster, this is not an unexpected choice, as long as the cattle are not driven up and let them run away in the first place, in the end, it will inevitably end like this!
The soldiers listened to the screams of their colleagues and looked at the fleeing crowd in the distance, and the rout began, and it was so easy that they made the choice to escape. It was not only the hearts of the herd, but also the flight of others that broke their courage to resist. The big rout, the real rout, because the cattle got the gap, the whole tribe followed behind the leader and began to charge, and the direction was a group of deserters.
Lawn actually wanted to run away at this time...... for his soldiers came at him. Obviously, they wanted to flee back to the city, especially a few of the more powerful warriors, who fled much faster than the herd, but ordinary soldiers, harvested by the herd layer by layer, and then trampled into mud!
Looking at the deserters in front of him, Lawne knew that he could not retreat as the commander of the legion, whether he could rescue the soldiers or not, he had to try, if he escaped, his royal career could be over. With endless tyranny, Lawn's other staff, Flame Fury, appeared. Once again, Lawne began to cast spells with both hands on his staff, at this time, he had to do his best, although the rank of the beast group was not high, but this was a heavy beast group that was charging up, and at this time, I am afraid that the high-level beast group may not dare to provoke them!
Raun didn't care about the lives of those poor people who were going to be swallowed by the herd, and directly struck the 8th-order flame rage, and instantly came out with the staff, and the direction was the leader of the leading herd! The rumbling loud sound came, which made Lawn's ears numb, it was too close, and seeing the explosion roll up the rubble, Lawn didn't think about stretching out the staff in his other hand without thinking, and sent a full resistance fire ring, which instantly swept the herd of those who still wanted to charge away from Lawn's side, the beast herd lost the main force of the striker and the beastmaster, and was frightened by Lawn's huge resistance fire ring, and finally turned, not chasing the rout, but also fleeing diagonally!
Lawn's spell did not give his soldiers confidence, and the rout was useless because of Lawn's might, even if the beasts themselves fled, the group of routs were completely defeated! With annoyance, Lawn shouted loudly with terrifying spiritual power: "Counterattack!" and then rushed to the already routed herd with Ina Eve!
Fortunately, Lawn's powerful spell is indeed very effective, at least the sound is shocking enough, after Lawn shouted, many soldiers turned to look at their regiment commander and turned to the fleeing herd, as if they had some courage, and also shouted loudly to lift their spirits, and followed Lawn's charge, but Lawn obviously felt that these morale-boosting drinks made some of the routs who were bent on escaping flee faster......
Lawn didn't really follow the reflexive pursuit of the soldiers all the time, it was basically a chase battle, and it would last for a long time, symbolically recovering some soldiers, just standing far away, watching the crowd habitually obey the command of a few people, slowly reducing the number of cattle, Lawn was a little relieved, I don't know how many people were lost, but the rest of them can be regarded as clear-sighted. The soldiers who fought well did not lose confidence because Raun stopped, victory is like this, the more victories the easier it is to win. For the stopped Lawn, the soldiers should have thought in victory that at this time, the commander of the legion should just watch them perform, and they did not imagine at all that the number of cattle had actually lost less than half, and according to the combat power just now, this was still an existence that they could not compete with.
It wasn't until the afternoon that these recruits finished the hunt of the cattle, looking at the soldiers who were happily collecting the spoils of war, Lawn had a delusion, was it they who just cried and called his mother? The corpses of nearly 10,000 demon cows also made Lawn clear that the remaining number of people was almost 10,000 people, and Lawn called the commander of the crowd he was particularly concerned about, that is, he and several people around him coordinated the army of 10,000 people? It has to be said that a loud voice is an advantage, and there is also some keen observation inside, which can stand up when everyone has no backbone, at this time, human beings tend to listen to the only voice that appears in their fears, which is what Lawn thinks of as a conductor.
Looking at the few people in front of him who were excited and did not retreat, Lawne naturally would not hit them, 7 people except for the one that Lawn cared about the most, the other 6 were commanders, and the soldiers chose among the remaining people, as for the commander, named Aloy Ray, he was actually a nobleman, but it didn't matter if he was a nobleman at this time, even if he wasn't, he would be promoted to captain of ten thousand people, and he would also be regarded as a nobleman in the future! However, not to mention the mountains of demon cows, Lawne naturally waved his hand and put it away with the space ring, fortunately, it was a large model made by Morin, and ordinary military use would definitely not work. But Lawn wasn't kind enough to reduce the burden on the soldiers, these people had other things to do!
Collect the corpses! It is impossible to calculate how many people were lost in the rout of the legion! Aloy, who had just been promoted to captain of ten thousand soldiers, received his first mission, and followed his soldiers to share weal and woe, fainting and vomiting together! Even Lawne was a little discolored, full of deformed armor and dark red that was already unrecognizable, not so much to collect corpses, but to collect armor, more than 9,000 pairs of armor represent that Lawne's legion lost such a number of soldiers, and there were also those who fled, I am afraid that many of them directly became deserters, and how many Lawn could be left is not looking forward to it.
These dead people can't even record their names, fortunately, the warrior kingdom does not have this tradition, where is the battlefield is not a meat grinder, but Lawn's legion was defeated by a small demon bull, I am afraid I don't know how much infamy it will bring to Lawn! But Lawn has no way, these soldiers who were eliminated by various legions were originally the fate of cannon fodder, all Lawn can do is to find some burn-resistant ones in this group of cannon fodder, trying to take them to live!
Fortunately, it is a herd of demon cows, if it is a confrontation of the regular army, none of such soldiers can survive!
